Lei Jian led the newly formed 'only regiment' to travel nearly 100 kilometers in two days, three days at the earliest, and five days at the latest, and they could reach the Jingang Warehouse, where the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was stationed, and there should be no problem.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the third day of the forced march, the troops arrived in Fuping, and most of Commander Chen's troops in the East Column were assembled here, Lei Jian placed the troops, and immediately ran to Commander Chen's office. Come on in. ”

When Commander Chen heard such a confident report, he knew that it was Lei Jian, a stinky boy, who had arrived, but he would never have thought that Lei Jian's only group would come so quickly.

He took the lead and walked quickly to the door, saw that Lei Jian Lizheng gave him a military salute, hurriedly pulled Lei Jian to his side, and said happily: "Haha, you, the 'Lei Commander-in-Chief' who temporarily took over before the formation, led the troops to launch a general attack on the high ground and broke through the enemy blockade line, this battle is good." ”

Lei Jian touched his head embarrassedly and said: "Commander Chen, I also met with good luck, and after the battle is over, I have been automatically dismissed, not a 'Commander-in-Chief Lei', Commander Chen, Lei Jian, a newly formed independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, led the troops to pass through here and reported to the chief." ”

"You stinky boy, in just a few days, you brought out a new peasant army that had just been formed, and brought out a heroic army that was brave and good at fighting, pulling out, winning and running fast, and rushed to Fuping City less than three days after the end of the battle, which is very good."

Lei Jian was pulled into the office by Commander Chen, and introduced to a few people present: "Let's take a good look at this little guy, he is the Lei Jian who I often talk about in front of you, the devil scolds the 'devil who killed the imperial army', and is known as the 'Thunder General' in Jiaodong, you won't be surprised to see this little 'True Buddha' today, right?" ”

At this time, Brigade Commander Song of the New Seventh Brigade, who had rushed here in advance for a meeting, and Brigade Commander Zhang of the New Ninth Brigade, who had a good relationship with Lei Jian, poured Lei Jian into the middle of the two and sat down, asking questions affectionately.

Lei Jian stood up embarrassedly and said: "Chiefs, I, Lei Jian, am only a regiment commander, not qualified to participate in such a high-level military meeting, I will withdraw first, and I will ...... after the leaders finish the meeting." ”

Commander Chen said with a 'haha' smile: "'Commander-in-Chief Lei' is not polite, in the battle of breaking through the Japanese blockade line on the high grounds, you dare to override Brigade Commander Song, and take over the work of this 'Commander-in-Chief Lei', then you will be temporarily expanded to participate in this military meeting, which is also qualified, don't be polite, sit down." ”

"No, no, no, Commander Chen, leaders, Lei Jian is shouldering a heavy responsibility, the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region Headquarters, ordered my only regiment to arrive at the military region's garrison King Kong Warehouse within nine days, I don't dare to delay here, rest for two hours to eat and drink, and I will continue to ...... immediately."

Commander Chen looked at Lei Jian, although he was full of energy, but the exhaustion on his face could not be hidden, he said distressedly: "Commander Lei Jian, you have walked for less than three days in nine days, and you can reach the road behind in one day, don't worry, just rest in Fuping for a few more days, and the troops will also be repaired, and I will report to the head of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region on your situation in Fuping, this is always okay, right?" ”

Lei Jian said embarrassedly: "Commander Chen, my only regiment has now grown to more than 2,000 people, and now it is camped in the suburbs of Fucheng, I will stay here for a day or two, and I must settle the troops first, right?" ”

When Commander Chen heard what Lei Jian said, he immediately arranged for the combat staff officer Liu, ran to the only regiment, and cooperated with the political commissar of the only regiment, Ma Mingshan, to place the troops for rest.

Under Commander Chen's arrangement, Lei Jian ate first and then slept, and then held a meeting.

Lei Jian, who was extremely tired, finished eating, freshened up a little, and fell down on the kang, and before he could wipe the fire and light a cigarette, he was already snoring loudly.

More than two hours later, although Lei Jian was in a deep sleep, he remembered the troops in his heart, and he didn't know if the cadres and soldiers who had been forcibly marching for a long time had been arranged, so he woke up suddenly, jumped off the kang and rushed into the courtyard, and didn't even have time to say hello to the cadres and soldiers in the courtyard, so he ran all the way back to the camp of his only regiment in the suburbs.

Lei Jian saw that all the arrangements were in place, and immediately held a meeting of the troops above the battalion, at which Lei Jian simply made a new deployment, and said solemnly: "Everyone is very tired this time, many of the soldiers are still recruits, as soon as they joined the Eighth Route Army, they encountered several big battles, and then they were forced to march, they were tired enough, and now our main task is to rest, and take a short opportunity to place the soldiers to rest well, and they will be launched soon." The Battle of the Hundred Regiments is just around the corner, and we don't dare to drag down the soldiers of the army before the battle. ”

At this moment, Commander Chen personally led several leaders to the station of the only regiment to visit this newly formed unit that had been tested by the war.

Before Commander Chen left, he pulled the thunder sword aside and whispered: "You stinky boy may already know that a big sabotage campaign is about to be launched on Zhengtai Road, in order for commanders at all levels in the East Column to have a general understanding of this battle, I also have to ask you, this stinky boy, to talk about the political trends and military significance of this big battle at the afternoon meeting, you can come to my place for lunch in a while, and the meeting will start immediately after the meal." ”

After lunch, Lei Jian was just about to leave, and Staff Officer Liu of the East Column Headquarters ran into the house, entered the door and shouted: "Commander Lei, the cadres of all the troops in the East Column Conference Room have arrived, just wait for you, Commander Chen asked me to urge you." ”

As soon as Lei Jian heard that all the people at the meeting had arrived, he waited for him alone, he pulled Staff Officer Liu and ran out, and Staff Officer Liu turned around and shouted to Ma Mingshan who was standing in the room: "Political Commissar Ma, Commander Chen asked you to also attend the meeting." ”

In the conference room of the East Column, around the long conference table, a large circle of column leaders, brigade commanders, and political commissars were formed, and one by one they did not know the content of the afternoon meeting, and whispered questions from ear to ear, but no one could say clearly.

Commander Chen, who was sitting at the chairman's table, said to the political commissar Song beside him: "Old Song, you haven't met this Lei boy yet, have you?" ”

"Yes, I've heard about it for a long time, but I didn't have a chance to meet, this time you can keep this little guy for two days, I have to talk to him and see if I can ......."

"Report, Lei Jian is here to report." Without waiting for Political Commissar Song to finish speaking, Lei Jian and Ma Mingshan rushed to the door and shouted loudly into the house.

Commander Chen, Political Commissar Song, and even Brigade Commander Song of the New Seventh Brigade and Brigade Commander Zhang of the New Ninth Brigade, who had a deep relationship with Lei Jian, all left their seats and stood up, looked out the door, and waited for the person who shouted the report to enter the room.

"Come in." Commander Chen shouted with a smile on his face.

At this time, two cadres walked in from the door, one was known to everyone, Ma Mingshan, who was the chief of the East Vertical Operations Division, and the other, except for Commander Chen, the two brigade commanders of the New Seventh Brigade and the New Ninth Brigade, and the political commissars of these two brigades, no one in the room had ever seen this capable and heroic young doll in front of him.

At this time, since Lei Jian arrived in Fuping County, he was taken special care of by Commander Chen, and he was arranged for him to eat and sleep at that time, and when he woke up and finished lunch, he thought that he was going to participate in the military meeting of the head of the East Column in the afternoon, so he decorated himself well, swept away the fatigue in the smoke and fire, and revealed a white and handsome face.

This still has a childish face, tender white with ruddy, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a pair of elastic lips under a straight nose, a height of more than one meter and eight meters, wearing an ironed military uniform, which shows the heroic posture of Lei Jian.

Lei Jian walked into the conference room, and saw more than a dozen leaders present, he was not a little nervous and shy, and there was no cramped and uneasy performance, he approached Commander Chen slightly generously, and he stood upright, and his Peugeot body was very majestic, and his right hand raised his right hand to salute a modern standard military salute, and shouted loudly: "Report to Commander Chen, Lei Jian, the head of the newly formed independent regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and Ma Mingshan, the political commissar, came to report." ”

He didn't wait for Commander Chen to reply, and then saluted a cadre standing beside Commander Chen: "Report to Political Commissar Song, Lei Jian and Ma Mingshan to report." ”

"Hahaha, Captain Lei, you little guy is very clever, but I'm wondering, how do you know that I am Political Commissar Song, have we met?"

Lei Jian straightened his waist and said: "Report to the political commissar of Song, we haven't met, but I heard Commander Chen say that you, when you see you today, you will be certified, which is not much different from what I dreamed of you in my dream, and then you are standing next to Commander Chen, I even look at it and guess, you are the political commissar of the Eastern Song Dynasty." ”

"Hahaha, you clever little ghost, you really live up to your reputation, so that people will be impressed when they see you at first sight, yes, you are also the appearance that my old Song dreamed of, hahaha"

Commander Chen saw that Lei Jian was very generous and connected with Political Commissar Song, and he said to Lei Jian: "You sit down first, and I will introduce you to the brigade ...... here." ”
